Description

14A High Street in Kirkcudbright is a mid 18th century end-terraced house. It is two stories tall with an attic and has five bays, along with an additional wide bay added in the mid 19th century to the left and a raised ground floor at the rear. The building is constructed of rubble with painted margins and chamfered openings. The central entrance features a pedimented door with an unusual rusticated, pilastered doorpiece, and a deep frieze supported by outer balusters. To the right of the entrance are two windows that were originally doors, while to the left is one window and an infilled door. The first floor has five windows, all with 12-pane sashes. The additional bay to the left includes an elliptical-headed carriage entrance and a pend at the extreme left, along with a later bipartite window with a hoodmould above it. The gable end has one window on the ground floor and one in the attic, both facing the forecourt of Broughton House. The rear elevation features irregular fenestration, including one wallhead gable with a small pointed arched window and another wallhead gable in the south extension. There are two rear wings, with the southern wing being two stories tall. The building has axial and wallhead stacks at the rear and slate roofs throughout.
